[QUOTE=rauchman;21129290]I'm currently on a 2022 RG, and previously had a 2013 Dyna Switchback, and my wife also has a 2013 Dyna Switchback.

- The Bitubo Twin Adjustables are IMHO, currently are the best value out there. These are on my wife's Switchback and offer terrific performance in handling all kinds of road imperfections. An excellent value at $550 or so.


This is what I ended up getting. I have about a year plus with them w/o complaints. No more bottoming out. The only thing is I remove the tour pack come Spring and re-adjust the Bitubo's. with the lesser weight. I THINK I have it dialed in now. Took me a while of trial and error but any shock comes with this.

This right here! Very happy with the Bitubos! Superbike Unlimited has them for $416 and free shipping. Took me a couple weeks to receive them.

to be Super clear - Superbike Unlimited offers 2 Flavors of the Bitubo Shocks = Either way - a phenomenal Value

- I Highly Recommend the Twin Adjustable 13” (331mm) Twin Adjustable Shocks - absolutely the Best bang for the $buck in a Harley Touring shock

- (no rebound adj) - HD004WMB02V2 = $416
- twin adj rebound - HD004WME02V2 = $475

Edited because after looking at what I ordered, HM Sandiego is completely right, I did get the WME’s.

Sorry - I am certain I am correct here - Both shock versions are Spring Preload Adjustable, BUT, the B version does “not” have Rebound Adjustment - the E Version “does” have the Rebound adjustment (5 click our position adjuster at the bottom of the shock) - I had the E Version shocks on my last bike - loved em! Either Way - Great Shocks!

I have the Bitubo WME0 twin adjustable 12" on the rear and thelr JBH fully adjustable cartridges on the front of my 2021 SGS 131. As others have said by far the best value on the market. Quality and technology equals or exceeds the more well know brands at a reasonable price. Fully rebuildable and warrantied. I paid $1175 delivered for the front and rear with oil from Superbike Unlimited. Install was easy and took me maybe 4 hours. Take a look at them.

So reading through this thread has me thinking about new shocks. I have some friends who put Legend Revo A on their ‘18 street glide CVO, rode it for just a bit and it was nice, but $1k+ has got me rethinking. Checked out the website and couldn’t really determine what’s best for me. So I went to check out Super Shox! I filled out the questionnaire online. Didn’t get an answer until I got a voice message saying there was something wrong with my email address, so I gave them the correct email. A day later he sent me a detailed message with his recommendation for what they have. It seems that Super Shox has more parameters for choosing a set than any other. I believe when it’s time and I have the money I will spend the $875 for Super Shox‼️
